Land-Grant University - Beers with the Brewers

Join Adam, Walt, Justin, and Vinny this week on Land-Grant Brewing Company's Official Podcast, "Beers With the Brewers" for the return of our favorite easy drinking scarlet lager, Skull Session. Stay tuned for a special nugget of wisdom from our very own Walt Keys at the end of the episode.

With no major beer release to cover this week, Adam, Chris and Mark delve deep into a discussion on glassware for beer. Prompted by a question from a listener, this topic was just too vast for a short answer. So raise your glass (and make sure it's the proper one) as we toast our beers!

Seasons are changing and spooky things are lurking this week as Mark, Dan, Adam and Walt celebrate the return of Beard Crumbs! As Halloween approaches, we finish off the final week of our Fiergarten Film Series and get ready for a party in LG's "Fiergarten". It is now time to get ready for our favorite holiday classic Oatmeal Raisin Stout, Beard Crumbs, a smooth dark stout teeming with notes of chocolate, coffee, and packing an extra punch of holiday cheer via the addition of raisins. It delivers the joy of an oatmeal raisin cookie, minus the crumbly clean up.

This week Chris, Dan, Walt, and Mark take a break from introducing beers to talk hops and answer a challenging question from a listener. 

This week Adam and Mark catch up on taproom and beer garden goings-on and turn it over to brewers Justin, Dan and Patrick in a "throwback Thursday" episode dedicated to one of our hoppy faves, Batch 300 Imperial IPA. Originally brewed as the 300th batch of Land-Grant beer, a celebratory event for which our brew team wanted to whip up something special, Batch 300 is a beer that exists outside of our M.O. To truly commemorate the occasion, we developed the single malt Imperial IPA you hold in your hands: brewed with Floor Malted Bohemian pilsner malt for lighter body, and the most hops we’d ever poured into a beer. Citra, Mosaic, and Moteuka hops deliver a punch of lupulin. Here’s to 300 more!

In honor of our 4th Anniversary (and party on September 29), this week join Adam, Walt, Mark, Quintin, and Joe as we talk about Land-Grant from the early days to today. It is a long listen, but we have done a lot in 4 years! 

Join Dan, Mark, Adam and Walt and they take a taste of this orange juice forward IPA brewed with three different varieties -and two styles- of hops. Traditionally harvested Mosaic, Cryo-Amarillo, and Cryo-Centennial Hops (Cryo hops are concentrated lupulin from whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oil) deliver massive amounts of juicy, hoppy aromas and hop flavor. Best enjoyed fresh and straight from the can.
